For those of you who were not in closed beta, the Scout Type-II sacrificed the Sidearm slot for an extra Equipment slot. I have a scout fit made for sneaking up on tanks, and I would love to be able to carry more REs! You could even change it to a Sidearm only suit and I'd be happy.

Personally, I'd like a good number of the old suits to make a return. Type II scouts are a good start. +1

I want my Gallente scout 'kindred' suit to have its sexy red paint scheme back. Not that ugly standard issue blue.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

I'd have to assume that either the Amarr (*crosses fingers*) or Caldari scout wlll have a similar configuration to make them unique.
The fossil BPO is very similar, I use it to start almost every battle. Should have gotten one before they took them off the market!
(I think there may be a skinweave aurum suit lurking around somewhere that is also similar)

You know, I actually like the current situation, now that Jihad Jeeps and REs have come out in full flavor.
It's an interesting dynamic - Swarmers and AV grenades for dropships and LAVs; Forge Guns, REs and Jihad Jeeps for HAVs.
Tanks are less efficient to take down, but are still plenty killable (Though MLT REs and FGs would be extremely useful here to enhance the game for new players) and I imagine players will only get better at murdering them.
Knowing CCP, though, they won't go with this. Instead of using your idea and making a tank hunter scout suit and balancing the game with the new tank killer methods in mind, they'll simply nerf tanks to something approaching the cardboard vehicles that we had with the last patch.
So much for letting emergent gameplay aid your creativity.

 It wasn't my idea, they had these suits back in closed beta but they removed them. But, now that REs are sticky, this suit could make a comeback as an AV specialist suit.

True, but since tanks can outrun any dropsuit speed isn't really an issue; it's getting close enough to attach the explosives in the first place, which (because everyone and their vehicle has an Active Scanner) is difficult without a very low scan profile.

Question
Bring it back in its entirety?
It was armor heavier and slower than the regular scout. So if we were to bring back type II scout, would it be slower than a Minmatar Medium Frame?
I would be down for the return of the B series or vk.1 with it's excellent melee damage, but consider it's place currently. The RE/Nanohive Combo will return!
Looking For: Corp
If a scout runs out of all ammunition behind enemy lines, they did something right.

I still want to see a heavy type-II, or a caldari/minmatar heavy.
But personally, I think all scouts need two equipment at proto instead of it just being a type variant, but either one would be nice.

That's a good point. But, although it was slower than the regular type-I / A scout in Chrome, it's sprint speed was the same as the current Gallente scout in Uprising.
My vote would be make a type-II version for Min/Gal with their current base and sprint speeds, current armor/shield values and just simply ditch the sidearm slot and add an EQ slot.

I would be okay with that, although I would miss my Combat Rifle / Nova Knife combo.

The Type-II and B-Series variants were placeholders for the racial variants. I expect to see two equipment slot scout suits fairly soon.

Ooo, yes, I want this.
And on a similar, semi-related note... I really want a caldari scout suit.
So how about.... release caldari scout in 1.8, and make it the "scout Type II" equivalent!!

I have to admit that I would be a bit sad if one of the new racial scout suits was the only suit to have a type-II / 2 EQ slot variant.
Just as how all of the rifles now have full-auto variants, my hope would be that each racial scout suit would have a 2-EQ slot variant.
A big yes for new scout suits in 1.8.... fingers crosssed.... |
